For years Ive been concerned about how peoples performance is evaluated. People are often forced into a normal distribution curve, or even worse, rank ordered. Not only does this not build trust, it also does not hold managers responsible for coaching people and helping them win. The managers responsibility is focused on sorting people out.When I was a college professor, I always gave my students the final exam at the beginning of the course and spent the rest of the semester helping them answer the questions so that they could get an A. Life is all about getting As, not some stupid normal distribution curve. Garry Ridge got this, and wow! What a difference it has made in WD40Companys performance.Ken BlanchardWhen I first heard Ken talk about giving his final exam at the beginning of the course and then teaching students the answers so they could get an A, it blew me away. Why dont we do that in business? So thats exactly what I did at WD40 Company when we set up our Dont Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A performance management system. Has it made a difference? Youd better believe it. Ever since we began the system, our companys annual sales have more than tripled, from $100 million to more than $339 million. And weve accomplished this feat while making the company a great place to work.Garry Ridge
